The S8F is fun and hyperdetailed in comparison. These are different sets targeting different audiences in my opinion.
I added this mainly due to its similar pricing. If you can sacrifice the comfort, these are the set to beat. Only thing holding this set back is the fit. Better tonality, technicalities, and overall more detailed presentation. For more a more relaxing though detailed set, go with the M7. For more a more fun and engaging set, go with the N3. Different tunings for different audiences. Technicalities and resolution go to the M7. Bass is significantly more boosted, midrange seems to be a bit overshadowed, and the similar laid-back treble makes this easy to recommend for those sensitive to treble. I wouldn’t necessarily buy these for staging though they are far from being narrow. When I want to just chill, these are what I go for. Hi-hats, woodwind instruments, and “air” all seemed relatively good sounding.
Even on the most ssssibilant tracks, these never sounded harsh or unpleasant. I would consider these to have a rather laid-back presentation. Highs: The treble is kind of where this set pick right back up. It’s also possible my set was broken or had something wrong with it. This may have led to my harsh criticism on how I perceived the M7. *Note: Female vocals can make or break a set for me. I would say other than female vocals, the mids are tuned quite well. This can lead to an easy but coherent sound. Similar to the bass, the mids lend a warmth to the sound giving instruments a nice quality to them. It’s hard to explain, but these just don’t sound right with female vocals. I found they have a weird tonality or sound to them. They lacked detailed, though they were adequately present. Female vocal on the other hand… To me, female vocals sounded kind of “fuzzy”.

They are full and present without being shouty or too forward. Let’s address the elephant in the room first, the vocals. Mids: The mids are where things get weird, at least for me. Midbass has modest boost lending some warmth to the overall sound, making these less boring. Subbass is present, though not as strong as I tend to prefer. Bass impact is lacking a bit when compared to other sets more on this later. The lower frequencies are nicely separated from the midrange all while having good presence. With that said, these do bass well enough. Being a full BA setup, they lack a true DD presence and rumble. I tend to prefer hybrid or hybrid configurations, but these are surprisingly done well. These are suitable to take out on walk to block outside sounds.īass: Like the recently reviewed SA6, these are a full BA setup. Not the best, but above average fit.Ĭomfort: Pretty comfortable. Polkadot Stingray – Free, Mermaid, A Stinging Spicaįit: These fit nicely. Tupac – Ambitionz Az a Ridah, Changes, All Eyez on Me
Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood, On Melancholy Hill, Ascension Mariya Takeuchi – Plastic Love, Yume No Tzusuki, September Slipknot – Before I Forget, Duality, Psychosocial Sample songs used to evaluate gear to get an idea of the type of music I listen to. Lastly, my reference over-ear headphones are the E-MU Teaks and the Sennheiser HD58x Jubilee.Īll critical listening was done off the Topping 元0/E30 and LG V30/FiiO BTR5 using Flac files.
Secondly, my music preferences consist of many genres ranging from Rock/Metal, Rap, J-Pop/K-Rap, and some acoustical/vocal based music. My final impressions will be based off 20-25 hours of burn in with the stock cable and stock tips. I have not personally been able to detect any changes in sound with a different cable or hours of burn in, though YMMV. Firstly, I do not completely believe in audible “burn in” or cable changes (in regard to sound).
